Pat Brady gave Laurence McAlinden a very very rare defeat. Brady played a good tactical frame, covering pockets and keeping it tight. It went to a re-spot and 'Big Pat' took the opener.Harvey Lavelle has a long history as an opponent to most of the squad so he was well up for his game with Jack Courtney. Lavelle was in superb form and as despatched Courtney with ease and Sheepbridge were on course to close the Premier gap.2-0 is a great lead over any team but it's a dream against TJ's A. Niall McVerry had the chance to make it 3-0 but the inform McVerry fell at the hands of last seasons individuals runner-up Raymie McKenna.Manny Byrne was always going to beat Barry Duffy and that meant the 2-0 lead had evaporated before Sheepbridge got time to sink a TJ's special offer from Jim McQuillan.Eugene McDermott fresh from last weeks win in Carrickcruppen was potting well and his defeat of Dermot Lonergan gave TJ's a 3-2 lead. The home side and quadruple winners were on a roll now and N.I pool team mates Tristan Byrne and Paddy Tavey went head to head.

Howard Webb of the English Premier League wouldn't even fancy refereeing Teggart v Bernie Magee. two legends in the game and 2 players who don't half like a tactical battle. It was Teggart that came out on top with some brilliant potting to seal 2pts and all but mathematically end the Sheepbridge Title aspirations.With the game all sewn up captain fantastic Declan McConville took his foot off the gas and Seamus McGeoghegan made the result took closer than it was to finish the scoring at 5-3.

With the shackles off Malone produced a rare moment of magic when he broke finished against Pat Quinn. Malone is more renowned for his social media exploits so it was refreshing to see him do it on the green baize for a change and maybe keep him quiet for a while but as we know here on the blog it would be easier to fly without wings than keep Gavin Malone quiet .

In Division 2 it was 1st verses 2nd as Trainor's of Camlough took on City side Armagh/Down. It was simply a must win game for the Monaghan Street boys.Tommy Mooney fired in his usual 1st frame win when he took out Gerard Harte.

They had an incredible win over other promotion hopefuls Granvue Hotel.Millvale will need maximum points from their remaining games. That began at the hands of the experienced Adrian Murphy but his shock defeat to Richie Magee put them under immediate pressure.Killian McDonnell levelled up for Millvale when he beat Peter McCourt. 2 superb players for the Omeath Hotel Shane Feehan and Conor Dullaghan put Granvue 3-1 up with great wins over Collie McCann and Paul Rowland.The stakes couldn't be higher. One more loss and Millvale could kiss good bye to holding aloft the Division 2 winners trophy on the presentation night. Willy Hughes and Ryan Diamond fired Millvale level playing great pool beating firstly the brilliant Paul Bruen and then Jordan Loye.Marty McGoldrick gave Millvale the lead when he beat David Heaney and alas the 2 vital points were sealed when Glenn McArdle beat a very useful Fisher.
